      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      nl80211: add power save commands · ffb9eb3d
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
      is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
      to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
      
      I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
      timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
      Basically there were three reasons:
      
      Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
      Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
      still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
      
      Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
      of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
      what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
      need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
      now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
      
      Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
      debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
      For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
      to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
      optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
      and other traffic parameters.
      
      Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
      this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

      cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control · 37eb0b16
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask
      instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change
      itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
      prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
      which rates can be used in TX rate control.
      
      Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
      unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
      be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
      optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.
      
      The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained
      (but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing
      RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to
      use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be
      removed.

      cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type change · 3d54d255
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When the interface type changes while connected, and the
      driver does not require the interface to be down for a
      type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
      results unless the driver takes special care, which it
      shouldn't have to.
      
      To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
      changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
      the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
      avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
      but only processed after the type has already changed,
      which would lead to missing events and warnings.
      
      A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
      or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
      but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
      disconnect, this is not a problem.

      cfg80211: allow wext to remove keys that don't exist · e3da574a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Some applications using wireless extensions expect to be able to
      remove a key that doesn't exist. One example is wpa_supplicant
      which doesn't actually change behaviour when running into an
      error while trying to do that, but it prints an error message
      which users interpret as wpa_supplicant having problems.
      
      The safe thing to do is not change the behaviour of wireless
      extensions any more, so when the driver reports -ENOENT let
      the wext bridge code return success to userspace. To guarantee
      this, also document that drivers should return -ENOENT when the
      key doesn't exist.

      nl80211: Add RSC configuration for new keys · faa8fdc8
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      When setting a key with NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY, we should allow the key
      sequence number (RSC) to be set in order to allow replay protection to
      work correctly for group keys. This patch documents this use for
      nl80211 and adds the couple of missing pieces in nl80211/cfg80211 and
      mac80211 to support this. In addition, WEXT SIOCSIWENCODEEXT compat
      processing in cfg80211 is extended to handle the RSC (this was already
      specified in WEXT, but just not implemented in cfg80211/mac80211).
